New town, more missions only on PS3
If you want to gain a head start in the world of Red Dead Redemption, then look out for the limited edition version of the game which features a fantastic range of exclusive material including the Deadly Assassin Outfit, which makes your Dead Eye regenerate at twice the speed.
You also get the War Horse, the strongest, fastest horse in the world of Red Dead Redemption. Other great extras include Golden Guns, which allow you to gain more fame for each kill you make in the game. The more fame you gain, the more side mission become available to you.

Multiplayer
Form a posse
Red Dead Redemption features both multiplayer and co-operative modes for up to 16 players including shoot-outs and capture the flag style missions. However, one of the most intriguing and engrossing aspects of Red Dead Redemption is the Free Roam mode, which lets you and other players on PlayStation Network explore the entirety of the single player map.
Here you can choose to form posses and take part in shoot-outs and raids on hideouts or forts working together as a team. Or, if you want, you can simply explore the huge map hunting animals. By completing the missions highlighted on the map in Free Roam mode you gain experience points and can level up to unlock additional characters, modes and horses.
With so much to do in the single player campaign, and the brilliant range of multiplayer modes available to you, Red Dead Redemption is an experience on PlayStation 3 that you'll find hard to put down.
